New Castle County in Delaware is included in the advisory area, along with portions of southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey.\n\n&#8220;Given the intensity of this early season stretch of heat and humidity, we are not fully acclimated to it,&#8221; meteorologists warn, noting that heat-related illnesses are possible without proper precautions.\n\nHealth officials urge residents to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned spaces when possible, and avoid prolonged sun exposure. Don&#8217;t forget to check on elderly neighbors and relatives who may be more vulnerable to heat stress.\n\nRelief is on the way. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to move through the region later this afternoon and evening, bringing an end to this early season heat wave.\n\nThe Heat Advisory expires at 8 PM tonight. Stay with TV Delmarva for continuing weather updates throughout the day.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Heat Advisory continues for northern Delmarva until 8 PM as heat index values approach 100 degrees, with relief expected from afternoon thunderstorms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":69439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779286125984.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbtNqq-i40","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":69286,"url":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/heat-advisory-in-effect-for-northern-delmarva-as-temperatures-soar-to-dangerous-levels\/","url_meta":{"origin":69440,"position":0},"title":"Heat Advisory in Effect for Northern Delmarva as Temperatures Soar to Dangerous Levels","author":"Admin","date":"May 20, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"A Heat Advisory is in effect until 8 PM for New Castle County as heat index values could reach dangerous levels near 100 degrees this afternoon.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779262598733.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779262598733.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779262598733.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779262598733.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779262598733.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":69502,"url":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/heat-advisory-in-effect-for-northern-delmarva-as-temperatures-soar\/","url_meta":{"origin":69440,"position":1},"title":"Heat Advisory in Effect for Northern Delmarva as Temperatures Soar","author":"Admin","date":"May 20, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"A Heat Advisory is in effect until 8 PM tonight for northern Delmarva as heat index values approach 97 degrees.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779293261092.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779293261092.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779293261092.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779293261092.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/news-1779293261092.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":69564,"url":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/heat-advisory-in-effect-for-northern-delmarva-through-8-pm-tonight\/","url_meta":{"origin":69440,"position":2},"title":"Heat Advisory in Effect for Northern Delmarva Through 8 PM Tonight","author":"Admin","date":"May 20, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Dangerous heat index values near 97 degrees prompt a Heat Advisory for northern Delmarva through 8 PM tonight.
